This has been one crazy week. We've seen the
deaths of Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, and Michael
Jackson. Undoubtedly, people have gotten online
to find news, share remorse, and talk about how
much they loved Thriller.
The question remaining is, just how busy did the
internet get? Well, with McMahon and Fawcett there
was heavier traffic than normal. Then, like a
megaton bomb came the Michael Jackson passing.
And the internet proceeded to explode.
In
a Telegraph article, it's being reported up
to 5,000 tweets were posted per minute on Twitter.
And according to this
WebProNews post, 9 out of the 10 trending
topics on Twitter were about Michael Jackson's
death. Biz Stone, co-founder of Twitter made a
comment that's quite eye opening as well,
"This particular news about the passing
of such a global icon is the biggest jump in tweets
per second since the U.S. presidential election."
Facebook's postings triple in the hour after Jackson's
death announcement. There was one Michael Jackson
group created that had over 100,000 members in
just a few hours. In relation to this traffic
spike, Facebook has made recent comments regarding
the hardware that is used for their servers. And
how they're coming up short with performance.
Jonathan Heiliger, vice president of technical
operations made
a comment at the GigaOm's Structure Conference
concerning Intel and AMD,
"The biggest thing (that) surprised us
is ... less-than-anticipated performance gains
from new microarchitectures -- so, new CPUs from
guys like Intel and AMD. The performance gains
they're touting in the press, we're not seeing
in our applications," Heiliger said. "And
we're, literally in real time right now, trying
to figure out why that is."
Those are some pretty harsh words, but does Facebook
have a point? Is the hardware just not catching
up with the influx of people that are using these
social sites? If the death of Michael Jackson
proved anything, it's that Facebook might be onto
something.
P.S - My condolences to the families of McMahon,
Fawcett, and Jackson.

Anyone Using All in One SEO pack for Wordpress?
Anyone using this and having any problems? I was doing some research today and it seems like many blogs using this are having problems.
I noticed in the search engine ranks that one of my blogs is getting all the posts and pages indexed quickly but, for the description is still showing the main site description- for every post instead of the individual site description that i put in for that page.
Anyone else having this issue or know a way around it?

If, Else and Array's
I have a voting script on one of my sites and it works fine, but i want to block people from multiple voting.
i figured the best way was to record the ip address and then block that ip from voting for a particular person again.
This is what part the code on the vote process page looks like:
// get stuff from form
$ips = $_GET["ip"];
$who = $_GET["manme"];
$wherefromwas = $_GET["whereami"];
// Make a MySQL Connection
$link = mysql_connect("localhost","root","");
mysql_select_db("unrated1",$link);
$query = "SELECT * FROM votes WHERE votes.mname = '$who' ";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
//echo $row['mname']. " - ". $row['ip'];
//echo "
";
if ($row['ip'] == $ips ){header("refresh: 0; url=$wherefromwas"); }
}
basically this is what i want this to do:
let say you want to vote for me.
it should get all of the ip's (other votes for me) and check to see if you have voted for me before
if so then return you back to the page. (don't allow/record the vote)
if not it should continue to process the vote which is basically a few more if's and else to make sure the the voting form is completed and record the vote.
i can't get it to work properly.
it records a new vote every time.
what am i doing wrong here?
If you want to see this in action send me a message and ill send you the link and show you all the vote process code

Best way to handle redirect/landing pages ?
The situation is as follows:
Company A got bought by company B, so the URL of A now to points to URL of B (a 301 redirect).
However, since company A customers seem to be confused about the acquisition, they want to remove the redirect and do a "landing page" where they talk about the acquisition and provide links to different sections in website of B.
How would you go about this SEO wise? I am worried that link "juice" might be lost by adding an intermediate page. Or should I not be worried?

Is it my computer or is Google being "hijacked?"
This may sound like a stupid question, but has anyone else experienced this:
I'm doing a search on Google and when I click on the listings that I think are relavent within the top ten of the search, I end up not on the page promised in the listing, but on another site entirely that often has nothing to do with what I'm looking for. I have to back-track to the listing page, then literally type or copy/paste the URL shown in the listing to get where I want to be. The further I go in the search - say pages 2-10, I don't have that problem, just with the first page.
At first, this was a minor annoyance, happening only once in a while. Now it is happening with every click! Anyone know what's going on?

Google Opens Google Voice to More Users
The much-anticipated Google Voice service is now available to more people. Yesterday, Google began sending out invites to those who have been requesting access to the free service. In May, Google reportedly reserved 1 million phone numbers through Level 3 Communications, which caused many people to speculate that a public launch was imminent. While the announcement does not signify a completely open, public launch, it does allow more users to enjoy the service.
